I have what now seems like an ancient build of DDWRT v3.0-r29300M kongac 3/30/16 on my Netgear R700, that I'm looking to upgrade. I have had issues as of late where the router just randomly reboots and I'm not sure if its the router or the firmware so wanting to update to a newer more stable build and assess the situation. Can someone give me some insight into the process of going from such an old firmware to one of the newer ones and which one they recommend for stability these days on the Netgear R700?

Thank you

Hi Everyone, I recently bought Netgear R7000, tried AdvancedTomato and TommatoShiby, both are working well, but I wanted to run 5Ghz radio as AP Client. I reverted back to stock firmware and tried few versions of dd-wrt:

1. Before initial flash always router had factory reset and nvram clear / browser cache cleared.
2. After initial again factory reset/nvram clear
3. Update to standart image and again nvram reset
4. Config as AP Client....
And Router WAS WORKING in CLIENT mode, but after power outage or reboot Router is reverting back to default settings.. on each versions..
5. Revert to stock img and start whole procedure for other version.

I wasted 3 days and now I get back to Tomato and It's keeping settings on it, also on orginal fw it keeps settings after reboot.

I would like to use DD-WRT but WHY IT IS LOOSING SETTINGS ? Am I missing something?
